Letter from Direct Collection Bailiffs Limited

Bodyline

I am new to this site. There are a lot of comments stating 'refer to Newbies'. I am a bit confused as to where to navigate to 'Newbies'.
I received a letter from DCBL titled "Notice of Debt Recovery" for £130 for a £30 PCN in October 2017. Whenever I receive these fines, I normally appeal to Popla but I can't seem to find any record of my appeal and this is the first notification since 2017 when I received a standard reply from British Parking that my appeal had been turned down. Has anyone got any advice? The letter says I have 14 days to either pay or call to discuss. It says 'This case is not subject to High Court or bailiff action however should you fail to contact us then we will recommend to our client the commencement of legal action against you.

One click back and you will see five announcements - one of them is called NEWBIE please read this first.  That's the one you want.

DCBL ARE SCAMMING YOU WITH FAKE AMOUNTS ?
You ignore these daft 14 day letters.    Read all about DCBL, all their rubbish is the same

This case is not subject to High Court or bailiff action however should you fail to contact us then we will recommend to our client the commencement of legal action against you.

Stupid scary letter ..... of course it's not subject to High Court or Bailiff action.   As you will see, if they send a 30 day letter before claim then come back here.  Right now you ignore .... DO NOT CONTACT DCBL unless you want to talk to bullies

Who is the parking company ???

DCB Limited are debt collectors and can be ignored - please read the NEWBIES FAQ sticky, fourth post, to learn about debt collectors. That's not to say they won't eventually move this on to DCB Legal who will issue a formal Letter Before Claim, which then cannot be ignored as they will have started on the road to a court claim. If you receive a LBC, then read the NEWBIES FAQ sticky, second post, which guides you through from that point to the actual court hearing, should it get that far. 

Have you complained to the car park landowner and asked them to intervene to get this cancelled?

I'm not providing a link to the NEWBIES thread because you seem to have missed it on page one when you clicked 'new thread' and also because my signature below every post I make already tells people where it is, as long as you are not reading the forum on a phone.

Anyway this person has provided some good advice and saves us endless replies and repetition on these DCBL threads:
